Benji Rose, multi-instrumentalist, educator, and professional meddler in the musical mainstream, has made a career out of sniffing around the borders where early music collides with modern, West rubs up against East, and notation dares to tango with improvisation.
A product of Birmingham Conservatoire and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Benji's studies led him deep into historical performance practice and the traditions that shaped early instruments. A formative three-year encounter with the organ sparked a lasting fascination with organology and the physical evolution of sound-making tools.
Benji's devoted himself to expanding the possibilities of music education, codifying his methods in what he calls the Virtual Studio: a digital laboratory for the musically curious.
